Il signor G e l'amore [English translation]

From a recent statistic about marriages it appears: 2% is those spouses who found the most complete happiness in the union, and believe to be eternally in love.

In 9% of the cases they reach a serene cohabitation, still overcoming a few difficulties.

In only 10% of the cases the actual separation takes place, for the remaining 79%, the majority, the marriage continues. But how.

Excuse me, sorry, it's nothing

we could even call each other by our names

you're so serious, intelligent too

I'd like it so much to know you better

and then, and then, and then

How beautiful you are, how beautiful you are

I need you so much

you're the woman of my life

I'm asking you to stay with me

because I love you, because I love you

how beautiful it is to live together

I love you, I've gotten attached to you

but sometimes I feel a little blue

no, no, I'm not making a scene, I've always endured it

but for a long time we almost haven't talked

and then, and then

When there are children, no, we can't, and our parents? Well, that would be the least,

it's definitely hard, eh? Friends, people, work, yeah, even work, we can't separate, so what? Keep going on like this, for our children, for everyone, the laugh in front of the others, everything calm, regular, the betrayal, little bourgeois, falsity, comedy, meanness and then, and then, and then

How beautiful you were, how beautiful you were

I needed you

you were the woman of my life

I asked you to stay with me

because I loved you, because I loved you

how beautiful it is to live together.
